Zarina is a very good prospect from Kazakhstan, of all places.



Birthdate: 18/10/1993
Plays: Right handed (two-handed backhand)

Has only played four tournaments in her young career.

Q losses in $100K+H Bratislava two years running (1R '07, 2R '08).
Q loss in WTA T4 Prague.
Now, in her best result to date, into the F of $25K Astana in her home nation of Kazakhstan.

Of course all of these as a WC as she does not yet have a WTA ranking although she will next (in two weeks) Monday when the points for Astana are added.

Zarina hasn't had a bad junior career either, reaching a GA SF a couple months ago and a few big runs at G1 and G2 events.

Good luck in your career Zarina.
